Yeah ik most stuff here is abt black metal, so this might be an unusual one. Just thinking about them being sketch since Spellgoth played with them for a while. Can't really gather a lot of info online abt the their ideologies and stuff tho.

Pretty simple Q. They have some good music with some of the bands, but I'm curious if the overall label is into the more fasc. side of the dark music.

A newer French BM band with a very classic nordic BM sounds. I cannot, however, find almost anything about the band at all online. Does anyone know anything about them?

Band from Germany responsible for the album “In Jeraspunta - Die Rückkehr der tollwütigen Bestie”

my research seems as if they’re safe, just very very pissed off and hateful.

Patriarkh, ex-Batushka, black metal band with Christian Orthodox iconography. Do we have anything on them?

Do you know something about this fest? I'm impressed about their aesthetics and how they make their lineup. But as a Black Metal/Pagan fest I concern about their views.

The bassist/vocalist/main songwriter of House Of Atreus has been playing live bass for Grand Belial's Key this year.

He's not currently listed as an official member so it may just be a temporary fill-in gig, but he's played at least three shows with them (per YouTube videos), and any amount of playing on-stage surrounded by Nazi salutes with a Nazi band definitely lands one in the "sketchy" category, to say the least.

House Of Atreus also shared a stage with GBK at Forged In Defiance Fest in El Paso, Texas back in October. I'd heard rumors that HOA were sketchy but hadn't seen anything concrete, but all of this would definitely confirm it. Very disappointing.

Anyone's got something on Porta Nigra (avant garde bm from Germany) ? They seem to be the typical nihilistic band that talks about ww1, but i could be mistaken. Their drummer plays in non sketchy bands. Only thing bugging me is that spotify lists Absurd as bands Porta Nigra's listeners listen to. Any help appreciated.

The Wikipedia article of the band mentioned that a member also played in ad hominem https://de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ancient

But I can’t find any other source about it. Does someone has more information about them?

I know that they're on Debemur Morti who I believe release sketch and non-sketch thing alike.

Really dig their style, but no one really seems to know anything.

I know it's most likely old as shit but I heard it from a guy in a rabm discord and wanted to know all the info about the puna terrori grooming allegations

Their new álbum is pure black metal and im in love with this release. Someone knows something bout them?

One older project of the same guy had patriotism as a lyrical theme and was on a fashy label. But this band ended in 2002 and none of his current bands have any questionable themes or label associations. They are from Madrid where most people are right wing but other than that I can't find any other current political connections

So i was listening to them on youtube, there doesn't seem to be anything suspicious about them as far as i have found. The lyrics seem to imply that they are at least not facist, but does anyone here know anything more about them?

He played one of his bass guitars with a red cross sticker that looks like the black cross of the German empire on his recent Instagram livestream. Do you think this alone make him sketch if not, at least slightly suspicious?

Considering he’s released stuff by Bizarre Uproar and has a release titled N*gger 3D , I’m going to say yes. But curious if anyone else knows more about this guy.

Akhenaten the band, not the sole member of Judas Iscariot

Can't find much, but MA related bands & themes seem safe. Google just shows a bunch of flowers, lol

One of their labels, Satanath Records, has Burzum, but also a shit ton of other bands like Bloodbath, Arch Enemy, Rotting Christ, etc, so probably not an indicator

I've seen them a couple times on YouTube when listening to lifelover and wanted to know if they were sketch

Mantiel and Dominus

They are touring together and coming to my town. I like folk metal, but I also know that it can sometimes be a mixed bag when it comes to being sketch.

I just want to make sure before I even consider going.

I am aware of the whole murder thing so this isn't about that. I have seen multiple people saying that they were sketchy or that they used to be part of the fashy parts of the black metal community. But one member of Napalm Death was their vocalist at one point and Napalm Death are pretty open about not working with nazis, even demanding Peste Noire to be removed from a festival. Their guitarist also used to run a gore website which makes me think he had leftist views

I want to get into them but now I'm not sure looking at the BM sketch list.

Hellenic Black Metal

I've seen contradictory things about them and don't know for sure.

I know they signed sketchy artists like Angelcorpse and Revenge, but I’ve also seen they had Dark Funeral, Behemoth and Rotting Christ.
